Letter of Endorsement - Eric Ryder - Tewksbury Select Board

On April 6, Tewksbury will hold our Annual Town Election. I’m writing this note in support of Mr. Eric Ryder for the Tewksbury Select Board.

Why Mr. Ryder? Eric is a caring, matter of fact, no-nonsense type of guy. Eric holds himself and others to high expectations. Eric is very engaging; he is always willing to take a phone call…and follow-up. As a local leader that is paramount.

Along those same lines, it’s imperative that elected officials “dig-in” on EVERY issue - to understand and consider the pros & cons to best serve the residents. I can tell you that Eric does his homework and due diligence. In a nutshell, cutting corners is not in Eric’s vocabulary.

During these jittery times, with every dollar being stretched, experienced municipal leaders with traditional family values are a must. I know that Eric is one of those battle-tested leaders.

On April 6, looking forward to a solid voter turn-out and thank you for considering Eric Ryder for the Tewksbury Select Board.
